Name: Minu NagashunmugamTitle of Project: Just a Girl: The intersectionality of gender, stereotypes and political affiliationAdvisor: Cheryl DickterHonorsDepartment: Government

My project is examining how a candidate’s gender, political views, and party affiliation interact together to affect a voter’s evaluation of a candidate. My research is important because it can help equalize the playing field for political candidates, and change how campaign messaging is developed and deployed.

Without the Honors Fellowship, I wouldn’t have access to the resources I need to complete my research!
